Synopsis by Hal Erickson

The Naughty Baby in this late-silent opus is hat-check girl Rosie McGill, played by bubbly blonde Alice White. Taking a special interest in tippling millionaire Terry Vanderveer (Jack Mulhall), Rosie tries to save him from the grasp of fortune-hunting Bonnie LeVonne (Thelma Todd). Could it be that Rosie is actually in love with Terry herself? It could indeed. Prominent in the supporting cast are George E. Stone as bush-league gangster Toni Caponi, Jewish comedian Benny Rubin as Benny Cohen, and Andy Devine as Joe Cassidy: while Alice White's star would fade in the 1930s, Stone, Rubin and Devine would still be working well into the 1960s.
